About this product
A set of 2 wooden antique dumbbells from 1800-1899, original and unsigned. They are small, up to 14 inches, with medium wood tone. Made in the United States, these are vintage hand workout weights in Americana style. The unidentified maker adds to the antique mystery.
Our take
These antique dumbbells from the 1800s are a pair, each small but not specified in weight—likely light given the era. The medium wood tone is classic, and the Americana style gives them character. They're unsigned and from an unidentified maker, which adds to the antique allure. For actual exercise, they're probably too light, but as decor, they're wonderful. The price of $25 seems fair for a pair of 19th-century weights. I'd display them in a home gym or study. If you're a history buff, these are a nice find. Just don't expect to break a sweat with them.
